Having been a fan of M*A*S*H since I was in short pants, I have to say, I love Jen‘s Hawkeye Pierce thigh-piece, signpost and martini and all, by Ron Meyers at Hot Rod Tattooing in Martins Ferry, Ohio.

Don’t Bother to Get the Elevator, I’ll Just Jump Out the Window

We’ve posted a different rendering of this same shot of Al Bundy (né Ed O’Neill) and, my childhood (childlike?) devotion to Married … With Children aside, it’s interesting to see how drastically different two artists can approach the same subject matter (which I’m quite sure is this).

The Cloud Fleets

So, when we received this photo, I just assumed it was some kind of “white trash” tattoo, whether prideful or ironic or whatever. Then I checked the image’s information and, in addition to seeing it was submitted by the excellent Johnny Stiletto at Baltimore Street in Hanover, Pennsylvania, there was a line about “Internet superstar Brian Peppers” and orders to “Google it, mo-fo!” Mercifully, I had never heard of Brian Peppers, but I figured, Hey, what’s the harm in keeping abreast of an Internet meme?
In conclusion, I hate the Internet.

Meltbanana sends in this photo of her new “Zombie Elvis” tattoo. It’s a very well done piece, so I mean absolutely no disrespect whatsoever, but I had no idea Zombie Elvis looks so much like alive David Lynch. That’s good, though, because I wasn’t planning on sleeping for the next 50 years anyway.

A Million Uppercuts

Despite the fact that “A Milli” makes me want to jam tuning forks into my eardrums, Lil Wayne is the best. I don’t know how he manages to maintain the incredible mainstream popularity he has while being such a goddamn weirdo at the same time, but the world is a better place for it. Anyway, this tattoo has everything you could want in a celebrity portrait. Appropriate alterations to fit the body? Check. Hilarious photo choice? Check. Exquisite grill detail? Oh god yes. Also, this is neat, because I’m pretty sure that was the first time the phrase “exquisite grill detail” has been used, at all, ever.

This portrait of Luis Guzman — “the Puerto Rican Christopher Walken” — was self-done by Luis Angel (IAM: distortedsmiles) in Flushing, Queens, NY. I cannot express how happy it makes me that this tattoo exists.
